I have an affinity towards the number 23, as I was born on March 23rd. Ever since high school days, when I started reading books, especially of the self-help genre, I wanted to write a book titled “Sure Success”. Hence the title.
Even after conception of the outline for the book, I didn’t put any effort in writing it, because I had a lot on my plate. But in 2019, I thought to myself that I would research and write the book and publish it on March 23, 2020! How wrong was I!
A good book takes a lot of work. A great book takes a lot of research. A book that sells need a lot of credibility! Since I lack in all three, as of now, I won’t be publishing the book coming March 23. I plan to release “Concise Edition: 23 Ways to Achieve Sure Success”, though. Because, while I know the Ways I have conceived of are sound, I would not have much credibility to back them up at this point of time. So, I will release the concise edition this year, and after applying the principles from the book in my own life and achieved the promised Sure Success myself, I would then release the full edition in the future. I am planning like in 2029, if you can wait for that long!
So, why am I blabbering about this now? Valid question. Even though I just have the outline for the book, I have shared these ‘Ways’ with some friends and even taught them to few of my students (instead of teaching Chess, I know). As I believe in the validity of these ‘Ways’, I didn’t want to wait until the release of the concise edition to share them with you! Who knows, maybe you will pick up a way or two from this and achieve something in the coming days and weeks.
So, without further ado, here are the ‘Ways’ from ‘A’ to ‘Z’.

(The ‘Ways’ 24, 25 and 26 are overarching ‘Ways’.)
As you can see, those are a lot. But they are not steps, to be taken one by one, just ‘Ways’. Each way by itself has a value. You can add a few of the ‘Ways’ into your life and can achieve more Success, if not Sure Success.
Comment below which ‘Way’ you will incorporate into your Life right now!
